Just remember a thought I had before going to bed last night.... Calling Apache TomEE a 4.0.0-beta-1 is a big mistake.
Should be Apache TomEE a 1.0.0-beta-1. I think we're probably working against ourselves by not making it as new and exciting as possible. Some people might be confused "4.0? why haven't I heard of this before, it must suck" whereas no one will be confused by 1.0. Are we trying to launch and old and established and mature product or something new and exciting? I now remember thinking just at that moment before falling asleep .. "well, you can always increase the version number later, but you can never decrease it." Seems like if we regret calling 4.x in the future, we'll never be able to fix it. At least with 1.x, we can still do what we want at a future date. So in that vein I'm going to roll a version with the 1.0.0-beta-1 version. I have a fixed batch of binaries with the 4.0.0-beta-1 version number staged and ready to go: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopenejb-016/ If we don't like the feel of 1.0.0-beta-1, we can release the above set of binaries and the tag. -David
